Moving right along....

If you've been waiting anxiously to see what's happening with my collaboration quilt with Kathy Loomis, Brown Planet, here's where I am now. If you are new to my blog, you can read about it here.  Somehow between quilt shows and openings and gardening and other stuff, I managed to finish the semi-sphere section of the quilt.  It may look easy to you, but believe me, it was quite challenging.  I did more ripping out, recutting, re-sewing, etc. than I care to think about.  Ignore the wobbly edges, it has to be trimmed, especially the left side.

 Now I have to work on the background, to make the quilt into a rectangle.  It will consist of many, many little units of pieced strips in pastel neutral colors. The strips are about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch in width.  Kathy gave me some, but I have to make so many more.  I ordered a lot of solids online and was able to get some perfect matches, but not nearly enough.  She had sewn some of the units together, as you can see here, and I will have to take her units apart so that I can intersperse them with my units and have it look cohesive. Does that make sense?

I'll post again when I have more to show.  I have a lot of gardening to do, so this may take awhile. Yesterday was rainy all day so I had a lot of studio time.

Thank you for stopping by my blog.  Comments are always welcome.
